Changhua elderly protection program enrollment soars
By Chang Tsung-chiu and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter, with staff writer
The number of people enrolled in a Changhua County Government program to reduce the risk of older people getting lost has expanded to 750, a fivefold increase from 150 in the previous year, the county’s Department of Social Affairs said on Saturday.
The surge in enrollments came after officials relaxed eligibility requirements and introduced QR code-bearing cloth tabs as a less obtrusive alternative to radio frequency identification (RFID) devices, the department said.
The county has been trying to find a technical solution to reduce the number of wandering seniors since 2011, when then-county commissioner Cho Po-yuan (卓伯源) of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) introduced bracelets that bore the name, address and contact information of the wearer.
TRENTON â An urgent Trenton Water Works infrastructure project could be imperiled.

The measure needed at least five âyesâ votes to pass, but only four of the council members supported the ordinance.

At-large Councilman Santiago Rodriguez and West Ward Councilwoman Robin Vaughn did not vote on the bond package, and Council President Kathy McBride voted no, killing the ordinance proposal.
In public comments, West Ward resident Cherie Garrette said TWW is spending âtoo much moneyâ on outside contractors. âThis is a wholesale job,â she said, âbut you priced it at retail prices. Itâs just ridiculous.â
